Of particular interest is the fact that Bob will be one of our merry throng. Bob has informed me that he will be happy to discuss the history of Gary Kildall and Bill Gates, of DRI and Microsoft, and of CP/M and MS-DOS, and also to answer questions about his analysis of CP/M, QDOS, and MS-DOS.

We'll probably be wandering in sometime between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. I'll be easy to spot. Just look for a bunch of outrageously good-looking embedded systems developers with rippling six-pack abs, then keep on scanning the room until you spot the geeky-nerdy-looking guy in the Hawaiian shirt. If all else fails, just shout "Max, would you like a beer?" and you will be assured of my undivided attention (LOL).
